"I took this photo of the Grand Tetons from the Buffalo Valley area north of Jackson Hole, Wyo. It was a bitter cold morning and the light sparkling off the ice crystals was incredible. This is a beautiful ranch in the valley, and I have taken many photos of it through the years, but this is my favorite photo of all."

"The town of Cloverdale is situated close to mountains in northern California, where it snowed in 2008. This photo is of an extremely rare snowy winter scene on the road between Arcata and Willow Creek!"

"Yes, Lake Superior freezes. Many people are surprised to find this out, but in the winter the lake does partially freeze over and the harbor is closed. This photo was taken at the Canal Park entrance to the harbor, Duluth, Minn., in February 2010."
